Natural Born liar

There was once a boy
who was such a cheat,
He was the master
of fraud and deceit

everything that he said
was so full of lies,
every time someone bought it
there was shine in his eyes

It was not as if
he had something to hide,
whenever he spoke
he had spontaneously lied

Addict to the drug
of plain deception,
and he was high all time
with no exception

he would lie innately
and with immense skill
and if he could pull it off,
feel the greatest thrill

at the grand triumph
of his art of deception,
of his quick wits and
his depths of perception

and he lived his life
faking himself out,
lying and deceiving
everywhere about

and one fine day
there was this girl,
who’s just one sight
made his universe twirl

he saw her that day
in the local bookshop,
her every move
made his heart stop

he looked at her
with wide open eyes,
her voice echoed
deep into the skies

she was so lovely
her smile so sweet
she was, he thought,
he couldn’t possibly cheat

and his face hardened
and his eyes gleamed,
“I’ll never lie to her!“
his heart screamed

but how could he ever
get to talk to her
she was such a pretty girl
and he was a loafer

and he couldn’t now
just hide this fact,
he couldn’t just go
and break the pact

he made with his
inner conscience,
though his instincts pushed
but he stood in defiance

he went up to her
gave a silly grin
“it’s a nice book”
just came from within

but then he had
actually read that one,
so he didn’t have to lie
as he could have done

she smiled back
perhaps she understood,
they had a little chat
and he felt good

her voice was light
like a long lost song,
he felt the waves
and he rode along

he didn’t care
what he was taking about,
but he wanted to talk
he had no doubt

in a few minutes
he dreamed castles in air,
but he didn’t lie
that much I swear

but it was slowly
getting onto him,
to control any longer
he felt the chances slim

he tried to close
the conversation then,
he said goodbye
and had just turned when

she gave a shout
and sweetly said
“hey what’s your name?:
ringed in his head

he stopped still
and turned back,
as he tried to speak
it made him quack

his hands trembled
his throat dried,
his heart pounding
like a devil inside

he was in a panic
but still he tried,
he thought of his name
but then .. he lied
